Each time I enter an app I get a like red background around the screen, and it's with each app. I'm using 3 Musketeers total senseless
This happened after I copied new music on my phone, removed it, same issue, even tried clearing the cache but nothing changed

A few weeks back when I was messing around with CM6 nightlies, I tried using the inbuilt notification bar colour options to change the bar to black. I used it for a while and then noticed something, the changes keep coming back...
I have wiped/formatted MULTIPLE times since (including the SD card). I am now currently on CM6 final, and yet again the weird colour settings keep coming back.
Ex - Wiped/formated (including SD) today, flashed CM6 final. After the first reboot everything is stock CM6 (i.e. white notification bar). I reboot the phone again, and boom the weird dark colour changes now appear with the notification bar. I have tried resetting the changes, nothing. I have tried flashing themes (elegant steel today) and while they appear to work, the bar colours are all messed up even after successfully importing the xml. It's almost like they have merged with the old settings.
I'm seriously getting a little pissed. I don't understand why the bar settings ALWAYS come back even after full wipes/format or even after resetting the UI in CM settings. Is there some kind of backup somewhere? (I assume through google because the data on the card and phone has been wiped so many times).
Little help?
For what it's worth another reset of UI, davlik re-wipe and reflash fixed most of it. Also make sure that custom bar and drop down menu in CM settings are both unchecked generally. Mine always were, but apparently checking and then unchecking them again can help.
Hey,
I'm using the JPM Froyo (official downloaded from Kies, before it was removed from the norwegian Kies) with stock room. Rooted and been using the Voodoo 5 fix.
The phone is quite fast (not like the JM8 though), it feels snappy while using.
Almost every time press the "Home button" the screen is blank and only shows the background, it takes about 2-6 seconds (at least) before the icons shows up..
I'm using AutoKiller Memory at "agressive", and even use a widget for closing programs with one click (Task Manager), but still the homescreen is slow.
Besides regular short cuts the only widgets I use is "Smooth Calendar" and a static Weather icon (I don't use any animated widgets).
Any idea what is wrong? Somebody got the same problem?

Yeah I have the same issue. Seems that it has been happening recently when I applied voodoo lagfix.
An example would be if I have beem browsing in the xda app for a while and I press the home button, it takes some time for all the widgets to appear. Quite annoying.
Should mention I'm on jpm with voodoo 5 if.I'm not mistaken.

Disabled the Voodoo lag fix, but besides making the phone slower it didn't help.
Did you try to disable Voodoo? Tried to clean innstall rom?
Started using launcher pro and havent looked back. So much quicker and better in every way. Makes me think its crappy touch wiz

Decrease your autokiller settings. It sounds like it's killing your launcher from memory, so every time you go back to home screen it has to load everything up again.
After downloading an app from the Market with my AT&T Captivate, the download icon - the little white rectangle with the red downward arrow above it -- stayed on in the top bar of the Home Screen. I have removed the app, then reinstalled it and no change with either operation.
I tried a battery pull several times and no change. Anything else I could do instead of a factory reset? Phone is bone stock.
Thanks in advance.

try clearing the market cache?

Thanks, but I went to the Market App and it says that you cannot clear the cache - but that power cycling might help. I am not clear what that means.
Seems like any app to clear the cache is for rooted phones only and I am not rooted.
Any additional help would be appreciated.
Thanks, again.

FIXED
Someone had apparently sent me a download of some photo app that was hung up under Downloads in my browser. I found and cleared it and the icon disappeared.
Thanks!!
Hello, since I've rooted my phone (stock rom 2.2.2), I have an annoying glitch with the "n" icon popping up on every icon/app installed after I rooted my phone, when I disconnect it from USB (after it scans the SD card, and memory and apps in the notification bar)
No matter if I've already launched those apps, it still pops up on their icons (i'm talking about the little "N" in a blue circle)
What could be wrong ? How to correct that ?
Thanks ! :good:
EDIT: only the modded camera app (from there : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1090785a ) and superuser app have the issue, and only in the application menu... they do not show the "N" icon on the home menu. So weird ?!
Is there any way to get rid of that "N" icon popping up only on those 2 apps ?
I have to say I dun really know the cause of recurring N
but I once had same problem of recurring N in specific apps that I had froozen n defrosted by Titanium Backup!
try them after deleting app cache and data. It worked for me!
if that doesn't work, we'll go for more desperate measures!!
"N" pops up whenever you install new apps, once you start that app, it should disappear. Your issue seems to be weird, try clearing cache and re-boot your device.
.... I don't understand what's the N icon :/
N → New

'N' isn't actually icon but a small overlay over real icon. It is kind of notification which shows a installed app hasn't yet been started/run from app drawer!!
You are still on froyo right? Its normal.. try clearing cache, dalvik everything.. or, just ignore it.. hehe.. happened to me once..

Hi,
I'm using CM10.2.1 on my ovation device and have noticed a significant slowdown/lag when rearranging (moving) app-icons on the home screen.
It depends on the number of icons that are displayed on the current page - when there are many icons, the slowdown is horrible.
My grid size is 8 rows x 5 columns.
If I check "Hide icon labels (Hide homescreen icon labels)" (Personalization->Home Screen->General), rearranging app-icons is very smooth with no slowdowns. So it has something to do with the label rendering?
What can I do to avoid the slowdowns without having to learn the app-icons by heart.
Have you tried enabling force gpu acceleration in developers options?

Yes, I tried that already. It makes no difference. If I enable "Show GPU overdraw", the icon labels are marked light red to red - no matter wether "force gpu rendering" is checked or not.
I also tried "Disable HW overlays" - this has no effect.
How many icons are needed for this to appear? I can add that many and see if I see the same thing.

With 6 Icons on one page, the difference is quite obvious.
If you add more icons, it will get worse. If you fill a 5 x 8 screen with icons, it's a real pain.
Strange my home screen has 20 things move around like butter

You'll probably find that its one (or more) app that's not playing nicely. I'd start by removing them one at a time until it reveals itself.
Just did a full wipe and clean install. Skipped everything possible - no wifi configured, no Google account, no restore from Google.
Then dragged some icons on home screen. Moving them around is now much better, but not as perfect as with icon labels switched off!
After that, I verified the grid size in the Trebuchet preferences - changed nothing, returned to home screen. Now some of the icons are not visible any more and some of them are outside the screen area.
I've got no idea what's going on here... Trebuchet perhaps is mixing up colums and lines sizes of the homescreen grid?
All I can think of to suggest at this point is:
Make certain your chosen CWM10.2 downloaed properly (or do it again).
Make certain you have the correct GApps package.
Make certain you installedd them with the correct version of CWM.
I'm assuming you followed the Guide for Dummies. It's pretty idiot resistant. After I create the bootable SD, I like to install just the EMMC version of CWM followed by the ROM. Then let the Nook boot all the way through. Go into settings and enable boot options, reboot into recovery and then install GApps. Reboot again, connect to WiFi and let everything update.
If that doesn't work, I'd suggest starting over from a fresh install of the stock ROM.
Went back to stock ROM without problems.
Reset to factory defaults.
Downloaded cm-10.2.1-ovation.zip again. No file differences found. Flashed it via CWM v6.0.2.8 for HD+ (Stock)
Flashed gapps-jb-20130813-signed.zip.
The problem is still present.

Don't know what else to say. I just (literally) went from stock to 10.1, then to 10.2, then to 11 (which I'm on now). I would rather pack the stuff I use on one screen than flip back and forth between screens. I keep it full with widgets, shortcuts, and quick-launchers. No problems like yours.
When you say, "Reset to factory defaults." you mean you flashed it back to the stock firmware?
Yes, I did a full wipe and flashed back to stock ROM - to start over from scratch.
Then I flashed CM 10.2.1 as described... and the problem is back.
Now I'm trying CM11 (M6) which does not show this particular problem (everything moves smoothly), but it has some nasty bugs. Reading a book in "Google Books" often causes a crash and the Nook reboots. The notification bar crashes sometimes when I pull it down. Sound is strange in King.com games (Candy Crush etc.)...
FWIW - You're in good company. My most used app is Kindle (Ironic, aint it?). I get random reboots with every ROM I've tried. Some are much worse than others.
